Fodor's Review:

A former Arts and Crafts-style warming house for ice-skaters at Lincoln Park's North Pond, this gem-in-the-woods fittingly champions an uncluttered culinary style. Talented chef Bruce Sherman emphasizes organic ingredients, wild-caught fish, and artisanal farm products. Menus change seasonally, but order the Midwestern favorite walleye pike if available. Like the food, the wine list seeks out small American craft producers. The food remains top-notch at lunch but the scene, dense with strollers and high chairs, is far from serene.

nice location but nothing special once inside. ordinary food, slow service and the lack of originality in both food presentation as well as food itself is not a real draw, location is good though.
